Two of my sikkimensis have sprouted and are growing very well indeed. The plant on the bottom right is a bird of paradise.

Well done, Congrats !

What were the parameters to get them sprout ?
(Pre-treatment, Temperature, substrat, light, seed source, etc...Thanks!)

I succeed only one seed on thirty, you seem having more success

Well, I got the seeds here in the UK and they had salt petre to soak them over night in. First I had all of my banana, and other seeds, in the fridge overnight, then into the kitchen (around 80F) with my orchids for twelve hours and repeated this for two weeks before planting. I think it's about three weeks since the first one popped up but the others are still underground. I'm not expecting them to sprout within the next four weeks or so.

I have two UFO LED lights for my orchids that I put my bananas under too. I also have grapefruit seeds. orange and lime seeds under there with them. I planted them in ordinary compost like I did with my chillies and so far it's worked out well. All my seeds are in my parrot brooder at 37C. Generally all my seeds sprout within a month but usually around two weeks. we'll see what the next few weeks hold in store for the other seeds that have yet to show themselves.

Hi HoaNui!

This is a new post from me after a long time.

I´ve just seen your photos of germinated Musa sikkimensis! Really well done and my congratulations!

I have put a photo of my sikkimenis germination attached.

In the moment also a new hybrid sikkimensisxornata is germinating very good at my place.

best wishes,
Markus
